The Universe Finds Work For Dirty Hands

Monday, I picked up big salads for supper at Country Mart. When Farmer H came to the kitchen to get his ready, he first stepped out on the back porch to take a pee. No, sadly, that is NOT unusual.

Anyhoo... imagine my shock when I glanced over at the cutting block, and saw Farmer H reaching HIS HAND into the bag of crispy fried onions I had just opened to use for a salad topping.

"EWW! Get your hand out of there! You were just outside peeing, and you DID NOT wash your hands!"

"HM. I use my left hand for that."

"That's bull! You use your right hand for everything!"

"No. I pull up my shorts leg. With my left hand. That's what I use to pee."

"I don't believe you! Get your hand out of those onions! You could just shake the bag over your salad, you know. No need to stick a hand in there and root around and grab some."

"You're always on me for something!"

Yes. Yes, I am. Even though I was too late to prevent the initial contamination, I will remain ever-vigilant to thwart Farmer H's atrocious hygiene practices!

Sorry if this was too much information...

    With an extra: Do NOT dip your hands into open bags, EVER!
    That's what utensils are for.

  3. Most men fail to wash their hands after they pee. Just a fact. HeWho always washed his hands before he eats, though. So he does get credit for that!

  4. Kathy,
    You must be Cesar Milan of husband-trainers! I can't imagine Farmer H washing his hands before eating.
